Stick with the Hex core CPU. They can be overclocked to about 4.2 Ghz, or so quite easily. Possibly even higher, never really pushed them CPU's very hard.

Why would you go to a lower core processor for anything? Besides, you didn't tell us the most important factor. What resolution are you gaming at? If it's 1080P or higher the faster CPU is negligible at that point.
